The Disciple's Cross


A major focus of our travel toward discipleship and self improvement as men is an instrument for visualizing and understanding our opportunities and responsibilities is called the Disciples Cross.
The Disciples Cross is based on six principles aimed at focusing our development of a deeper relationship with Jesus. They are:

1. Spend Time with the Master
2. Live in the Word
3. Pray in Faith
4. Fellowship with Believers
5. Witness to the World
6. Minister to Others
What does it mean to be a disciple? During our journey, this is one of the things we want to discover. One vision is that a disciple of Christ is a person who makes Christ the Lord of his or her life. A disciple’s primary commitment is to deny yourself. What…! No, it does not mean to reject your identity – It means to renounce the self-centered life. To do this we must learn to follow the six disciplines listed above. During our journey, we will examine each of these principles.
